00:02Hi, Bali Interiors. My name is Timon.
00:04I'm Herman. Come and take a peek at our paradise.
00:20We chose Wooden House, so it breathes better, it connects better with nature.
00:25It's 70% reclaimed wood. It's very low maintenance because it's all reclaimed.
00:31So teak wood and wooden wood, which is the florist, has these natural oils in it.
00:38So we don't really need to do anything other than do a spray once a year, a termite spray,
00:44to make sure no one actually heats the house.
00:46But otherwise, you don't need to maintain it the same way as you have to with a concrete house right
00:51now.
00:55One of the main things we also wanted to do were lift the house.
01:00Because, again, we are all building on rice fields.
01:05So lifting the house, so the house is on pillars.
01:08So just to get the airflow under the house also has made a really big difference.
01:13So when we are in rainy season, we can avoid all the floods and the dams through the ground and
01:24up in the house.
01:25So that's also made a really big difference instead of just doing a concrete foundation.
01:35A few different areas in the house already where you can sit and eat.
01:38And this is the main dining area.
01:43We designed the table to be very minimalistic and simple, but still sturdy and have room for enough people.
01:50And then we made these chairs that are slightly rounded to make like a contrast to the very square house.
02:02We've used Terra Water Filter for four years actually and it was the first things we got when we moved
02:06here.
02:07Mainly because we didn't want to contribute to the whole plastic water bottle situation that's already a thing.
02:13But also because you can actually just use the tap water and put in here and it filters right through.
02:18And then you constantly have a water flow as you would in Denmark.
02:22Because in Denmark you would just drink out of the tap.
02:25Yes. So we needed something that would be as close as that as possible.
02:29While also having an aesthetic version of it, right?
02:33So we didn't want the classic plastic bottle or machine standing in the middle of the kitchen.
02:38Yeah.
02:43We made very small bedrooms, but we still wanted to be a place where you wanted to be during the
02:48day.
02:49We read books in here. We relax in here. This is basically the room we go for a quiet time.
02:56In the two bedrooms we have in the house, we decided to go with the Kelsey board and not wooden
03:03walls.
03:04Just to create a different environment and keep it more calm.
03:10So it's more like relaxing when you go to sleep.
03:14And then we could like paint it in the color we wanted to.
03:23This is Marley's room, our six year old son.
03:27It was really important for us to when we built our house that he finally could get his own room.
03:34We wanted to be like when he gets older, if he wanted to do changes that we didn't have to
03:40buy new furniture.
03:41So finding furniture that could last a long time was also a thing for us.
03:50We got this from the Danish company, Möbe, who does shelving systems and you can make them exactly as you
03:58want to.
03:59And so I designed this piece to fit in here because when you remove all the toys and all the
04:04colorful books,
04:05it could easily transition into a teenage room or even an adult room, right?
04:11So it's very important for us that it would last for a long, long time.
04:16And also that we can change up the shelving so we can put it up and down, remove some, add
04:21some if we want that in the future.
04:29So for the bathroom, we were trying to create the feeling of showering outside.
04:38So we decided to make a big window with plants on the outside.
04:44This is the only room in the house where it's actually concrete floors.
04:51And we actually use the same tiles here as we did out at the pool.
04:56So it has like this red line with the only tiles we have in the house is the pool tiles
05:04and the tiles in the bathroom.
05:11So we have this backyard behind the house where we've always wanted to grow our own herbs and tomatoes and
05:24things.
05:24So we decided to buy two rice beds and do our own herbs.
05:31So when we cook, we can just go out here and just pick what we need.
05:39So when we built the house, it was really important for us to get gutters, especially with the pool so
05:46the rainwater didn't go down in the pool.
05:49Water chain was like the deal breaker for us when we saw it.
05:54Like it just fitted in with the house and everything.
05:57And it just looks beautiful when it rains, you can sit on the on the deck and just look at
06:03this.
06:03It's it's amazing.
06:13We built this mainly for Stine's mom is moving here in a while.
06:20So for her to have her own space with her own kitchen, a little living room, bathroom and bedroom, of
06:28course.
06:29It's really we're trying to like be really inspired of the Japanese way of designing.
06:37So we darkened the floors and yeah, just made it really, really simple and really functional.
06:46Again, the red line keeping theme with with the main house, the Diablo.
06:56Yeah, so I actually have two favorite spots, but my main spot is the kitchen island.
07:00So we build this entire house around having a huge kitchen area, which which looks directly into the rice fields
07:08and the pools.
07:09We can have kids playing in the pool.
07:10We can cook dinner and we can watch the sunset going down right over here.
07:14At the same time, it has beautiful air flow because it's a 10 meters high ceiling.
07:20And you just stand in the middle of the house at the heart of the house, which just it feels
07:25very magical somehow.
07:29Yeah, yeah.
07:30It's just the center of the house.
07:32And that's where everything is going on.
07:36You know, our six year old son sits here, reads a book while we're cooking.
07:41When we have guests over, we love to entertain.
07:43It's just a big center of the house that we just love to be around.
07:49Like we can have the kids being in the pool while we are sitting here cooking, talking, enjoying.
07:55And yeah, it's just the heart of the house and just love that space.
08:04And the Danish way is very minimalistic, right?
08:06So it's a matter of mixing the Indonesian culture with Danish simplicity, minimalism.
08:15Yeah.
08:15The respect of the classic Indonesian house with the Danish minimalistic, more square designs.
08:27And we just thought that it fitted really good together too.
08:31Because as you can see, the house has also a lot of square lines.
08:35So the mix was pretty obvious for us to do.
09:02Thank you, Bali and Sirius, for taking a peek into a paradise.
09:05Bye.
09:06Bye.
09:10Bye.
09:11Bye.
